In

know
for
sure
whether
the
story
true
or
not.
All
we
know
is
that
some
500,030
Pollth
soldiers
and
some
15,000
of
their
officers
surrendered
to
the
Russians
in
the
sec
-ond
half
oj
September.
1939.
We
also
know
that
negotiations
between
the
Polish
government
in
exile
and
Moscow
concerning
the
release
of
the
Polish
prisoners
of
war
did
not
run
as
smoothly
as
would
have
been
desirable.
We
may
further
regard
as
a
pi
oven
fact
that
mass
graves
were
indeed
discovered
in
the
Wood
of
Katyn.
Yet
any
connection
between
these
facta
Is
sheer
guesswork.
It
is
based
on
nu'.h
m
but
Nazi
statements
of
a
doubtful
validity.

to

when
it
announced
its
rhju'ly
discovery
and
when
it

The
story
resembled
rather
strikingly
those
of
the
Reichstag
fire,
the

purge,

the
bomb

In

on

quite
lnioncluslve.
The

gave
In

number

as
10,000.
But
It
became
clear
from

that

Again,
the

that

out
under
supervision
through

professor
of
the
Breslau
University
and
In

the
former
Polish
minister
Koslovsky.
Assuming
that
both
these
gentlemen
were

there
was
apparently
nothing
to
be
gained
from
this
fact
certainly
not
what
the
Nazis
wanted
to
prove,
namely,
the
identity
of
the
bodies.
Are
Documents
Reliable?
According
to
Radio
Berlin
the
Identity
was
established
by
the
aid
I
f
documents
which
were
found
in
j
the
clothes
of
the
victims.
Whether

the
documents
really

the

on
whom
they
were

requires
proof.

the
case,

Ai
least,
the
Nazis
did
not
mention
photos
and
this
can
hardly
have
been
a
mete
omission.
By
the

token,
there
is
no
way
of
aseer-talnine
whether
the
documents

were
genuine
or
faked,
or
whether

were
roies,
or
Kussians
or
Germans.
The

In

not

circumstantial
but
also

On
the
other
hand,
extermination
of

is
a
well-known
lNazl
custom.
The
Russians
have
not
been
addicted
to

"war,

as
